The moderates draw voters from the Center

Moderates increase their voter support from 21 to 23 percent in the latest Dagens Nyheter / Ipsos poll. The party thus consolidates its position as the second largest party, and has 3 percentage points up to the Social Democrats and as many up to the Swedish Democrats.

The only statistically significant loss is seen for the Center Party, which goes from 9 to 7 percent after the scandal around party leader Fredrick Federley broke out. But the loss can also be due to other things.

– The normal thing when the parties are shaken by the scandals is that the voters who leave go to the category of insecure. That has not happened here. Most of the electorate has turned to the Social Democrats and the moderates. For that reason, the Federley story is probably not the main reason for the Center’s losses, Ipsos opinion analyst Nicklas Källebring tells DN.

The Green Party rises 1 percentage point in the poll and is therefore equal to the Christian Democrats.
